Mighty Devastator by jpastor | MTG Cardsmith
Alter Ego is a transform ability for creature cards via an activated ability, except the new creature has summoning sickness. Therefore, the mechanic follows most transform rulings.
End Turn
All four of the demons will get +1/+1 counters from riot.
Targeting jpastor
targeting Overwhelming Splendor since it shuts down my entire deck
Feel free to copy it with trickster's thing and double target your own dude.
Then on my turn... start by attacking with Mighty Devastator ... triggering the ability that allows me to destroy the Golem... which gives you 3 little cute Golems... - before blockers are declare, I'll activate alter ego to flip the creature, just in case you decide to combo block. Mighty Devastator becomes
Edit --> Cards (18)
(Your Rampage here is similar to half of the Bushido X ability of Fumiko the Lowblood.)
You are right - i messed that up didn't I? I updated it with the correct wording...
Edit: NVM, saw the second update.
I just fixed that too lol
I'll play:
Flame Dragon by jpastor | MTG Cardsmith
With this simple turn, let's see how you plan to defeat this boss with only ground-based demons and a crummy bummy flyer.
The Triniform token will then swing for some savage beats.
First, I'll Alter Ego this Flame Dragon, just like transform... this means the target for Consuming Madness fizzles and boom...
Inferno Dragon by jpastor | MTG Cardsmith
I didn't want to flip it yet, but seems like I have no choice.
I'll play
for the Golem's damage... if there's no other plays... i'll start my turn... by playing:
Getting rid of your disgusting Golem...
Revealing...
Relentless Terminator by jpastor | MTG Cardsmith
Then I'll flame blast the crud out of Heckling Harriers...
by the way - in relaxed rules - milling isn't a thing since i only have (15 cards left)
Your turn!
*coughs* There's so many fun buddies stuck inside that golem; it'd be a shame to lose it so early. I know! Let's have it fetch some old friends! In response to Lost in Time, I cast this:
Sacrificing our Triplicate Titan, targeting Heckling Harriers and Mighty Devastator. (Assuming you still choose to blast Heckling Harriers before Inferno Dragon dies.) Heckling Harriers will enter with a +1/+1 counter on it from riot.
So... it's not a differently named creature?
if a creature transforms in response to being targeted, the target does fizzle if the transformed creature is an illegal target for the original spell or ability.
When a spell or ability targets a creature, it specifically targets the permanent with the chosen characteristics, such as its name, color, or other attributes. If the targeted creature transforms into a new creature with different characteristics before the spell or ability resolves, it becomes an illegal target, and the spell or ability will be countered upon resolution. This is because the target the spell or ability originally had in mind no longer exists on the battlefield.
It's important to note that this only applies if the transformed creature is an illegal target for the original spell or ability. If the transformed creature still meets the targeting requirements, the spell or ability will resolve as normal, affecting the newly transformed creature instead.
For example, if one were to target Ambitious Farmhand with Defeat and it was transformed it in response, Defeat will fizzle because Seasoned Cathar doesn't have power 2 or less and thus becomes an illegal target for Defeat.
the blasting of the heckler thing was on the following turn... so it never takes place... all that would happen is the exile spell on my turn... to which you respond with your nerdy addition to the game...
i'll follow to your sacrificial glutton, and i'll cast the following spell with a gracious attitude towards killing everything:
Let me just fodder out your GOLEM ... ... laughing out loud ... oh i'm good!
So um - if there's no further plays... i do believe it is your turn.. and I am defenseless.
but you get my devastator...
JPASTOR is defenseless and the community even has one of his own bosses.... whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhat!?'
Will the community keep up the relentless assault or will they have mercy on jpastor .. who has 14 cards left.
Seems you have the initiative.
Let me start by playing this:
I'll choose to return Flame Dragon to my battlefield and give the Rambling Rabble -X/-X to kill it.
Then I'll cast a couple of beautes:
to give me a search for this spell, which I'll cast now!
---on my next turn---
I play:
Ending my turn!
This will leave the Triplicate Titan's three tokens and I suggest @smax765 transform the Baby Phoenix.
